Artist Lorraine Bubar explored the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve during a six-month period in 2025 as part of the Elyze Clifford Interpretive Center (ECIC) Artist-in-Residence program. In that time, she created beautiful papercut artworks inspired by the Mojave Desert landscape. Her colorful, layered paper pieces capture the unique plants, animals, and natural beauty of this special urban desert oasis. The work on view in her exhibition at ECIC are print reproductions of these cut paper works she created through a technique that she sees as painting with paper. These intricate designs weave together themes of metamorphosis, movement, and the hierarchies of desert life. Her artwork celebrates the amazing ecosystems found right here in our local preserve. During her residency, Bubar also taught community workshops, sharing her love of art and nature with visitors.
